Is there a way make different icons static at different workspaces in lion?

Dear community,
I was wondering if there is a way tocreate different icons in different spaces so that I can have multiple desktopsfor different purposes.
For example, I want to make a desktop(or space) for my school and a different desktop for pictures but I don't wantto have all those icons on all the different desktops. I just want to have theicons that I have for my school on the desktop that I use for school and theicons of my pictures on the desktop that I use for editing my pictures.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advance
Greets, Alex van der Linden

Sorry, just found out that this is not posible.

No, you can't have a different desktop on each space. The desktop is a display of the folder ~/Desktop, so each space is starting from the same template. You can allocate different application and Finder windows to each space. You can only have a single app in a space if it is using Full Screen mode.

Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?

Hello,
I want to create a document with cascading 'popups'. Not the built-in text-only popup, but an annotation containing an appearance stream that defines text and images. I'm currently using widget annotations based on a pushbutton field.
Each page in my document has many citations that refer to other pages in the document. When a user hovers over the citation, I want a 'popup' to appear containing a depiction of the destination. However, as the destination will itself have citations, I also want the 'popup' to contain citations that the user can hover over, triggering another popup, etc. In this way, a user could navigate throughout the document without leaving the page or even clicking the mouse.
Obviously, with even a modest number of citations per page, pre-calculating and statically defining all of these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making the document sluggish and very large.
Instead, I'd like to statically define appearance streams once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and assign the appropriate appearance stream using JS as the user navigates.
So far I've created a named AP in the names dictionary, but I haven't been able to use it to dynamically set an appearance stream of a dynamically created widget annotation.
Also, I've called Doc.getIcon(), passing in the named AP, which returns an Icon object. However, after field.buttonSetIcon() and passing in the named AP, the button does not display the icon.

Thank you,

Hi George, I've gotten named APs to work, and I expect hidden buttons will follow. Thank you very much!
Quick follow-up - I will have many documents embedded within the same pdf file, and some of these documents will contain identical popups. However, I don't want to store identical icons in each document on account of file size.
Instead, I'd like to store one instance of each icon for all documents in the file.
Can I store all of the icons in a single document, and then access them by calling <DocName>.getField().getIcon() from any document in the file?
Thank you again,
Dave

Is there a way to stop Icon View from putting everything in rows?

I have a couple computers now with Lion, but I miss part of my old Finder view. Is there a way to stop Icon View from putting everything in rows when I do a "sort by" arrange by? I just want sorted icons, not a row of types.
For instance - I set to arrange by date created and I have a ROW of "Today" A ROW of "Yesterday" another row of "Previouse 7 days" and another row of "Previous 30 Days." I just want a sorted folder of files in icon view listed by created date. These "Rows" are annoying and a pain in the butt to use!

that´s the point. you are using the wrong sort option. if you want rows you arrange by the button depicted above. in addition you can select how to sort your files (gear wheel button / secondary click context menu)

Is there a way to label icons in Interactive report search bar

Is there a way to label icons, 'View Report' and 'View Chart' icons (the ones next to the go button) in the Interactive report search bar..
We are developing a report for users to pull metrics. We have put in report view and chart view. But the use of the icons cannot be recognized quickly by the users, unless educated. Is there a way to label them with some text. Or is there any other way to improve this.

Is there a way to label them with some text. Or is there any other way to improve this.They are actually already labelled—look at the page source—presumably for accessibility reasons. CSS styling is applied to move the label text to a position where it is invisible when viewed on screen. All that's required to show the labels is to override/customize the CSS so that the label text is visible and the buttons are sized to accommodate it.

Upgrade MS Office to 2011, or use Apple iWorks, available from the App Store or use the free OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Plenty of choices, just no longer MS Office 2004.

If you have got a backup, press Command and R keys in boot and restore an old backup. You can install Snow Leopard and upgrade to Lion if you haven't got the backup

Is there a way make Final Cut Pro X NOT open every event/project I have worked on at open?

I will admit, I am quite new to Final Cut Pro X, but have been a FCP user for years - this version is like learning to walk all over again.
Everytime I open FCP X, it loads every event/project I have ever worked on, and it takes a looooong time. Is there a way to have it open blank and then let me open only the Events I wish to work with?

Event Manager is only $4.99 but if you don't mind doing it manually, it will cost you nothing.
This Apple help article tells you how to hide the Projects and Events you don't want opening in FCP X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
As usual it makes it sound quite complex but all it involves is making 2 folders which you name Final Cut Events - Hidden and Final Cut Projects - Hidden and dragging the project and event folders you don't want into them. (The exact name of the folders is not critical so you can choose your own if you wish).
When you want to see them again you drag them back into the original folders.
You should move the folders with FCP X shutdown.

Is there a way to have iCloud NOT sync rules in Mountain Lion Mail?

My wife and I each have our own MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion and we share an iPad on iOS 6. We use OS X Mail as our mail client for our accounts on our ISP mail service. We have iCloud enabled on all three devices but we have Mail disabled on all three.
Every time either of us makes a change to a Mail rule on our MacBook, it is pushed to the other MacBook. But we need different rules since we have multiple mail accounts and have different interests in each of them. I finally noticed by clicking the little ? icon in the rules window that the rules are synced if you have Documents and Data selected in iCloud NOT Mail. We also use iWork on all three devices so we want Documents and Data enabled for sharing documents between the devices.
So is there a way to keep from screwing up each other's Mail rules without losing access to our iWork documents??? The only thing we have come up with is prefacing every rule name with our initials so for example my rule can file a message and hers can move it to Trash. But this is also a pain since you cannot sort the rules by name in the rules window.

Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot systemwide on Mountain Lion?

Hello community.
Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot on Mountain Lion, systemwide?
Like editing the original cursor file (or downloading one) and replacing the original one?
Reason: when I enlarge the arrow, the "absoulute" tip (top of the white outline) gets distant from the internal tip (top of the black core), so sometimes the white outline needs to stick out if I want to click the approprate area - because the hotspot is on the internal tip. To me it's counter-intuitive. I would prefer to have the hotspot on the absolute edge of the cursor (tip of the white outline). This is not debatable - this is my private preference, and I've read today that it's not only mine - there is a number of users who want the same.
I know it's always been like this on Macs, so please avoid questions like "why to you want that", answers like "get used to it" or any kind of hostility, for these are useless. The quiestion is how can I change it, if possible.
Thanx guys!

I don't know how you get to the System folder in Mavericks; and even if I found the folder with the alternative cursors in it, I would have no way of switching to any of them. The designers have obviously not anticipated that anyone would wish to do this.
The System Preferences has an adjustment under Accessibilty which allows the user to change the size of the cursor, but nothing else.
So I guess that there is no way to make the change without actually re-engineering the System somehow.
If someone can find a way, I will be most pleased to be enlightened; only please make the directions explicit.

HT4480 I put my itunes dollars into itunes and am trying to use it to buy lion on my PC and I cant get it to work. I guess I did it wrong, is there a way to get this money to use for the lion app?

Hi, I put my itunes dollars into itunes thinking I could use it to buy the Lion App and when I went to down load it asked for the money then. Is there a way to take the money from my itunes account?

Hi..
"put my itunes dollars" ... did you redeem an iTunes gift card? I see you used the link about redeming a code.
Three ways to purchase Lion
One if from redeeming an iTunes gift card. Two, setting up a credit or debit card account with iTunes associated with your Apple ID, or purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
If you redeemed an iTunes gift card, make sure there is enough funds available. You need to take into account when you purchase apps including Lion, there may be applicable taxes or fees added the original purchase price.

Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks a lot in advance.

No!

Is there any way to restart the bluetooth module without restarting Mountain Lion?

Im using a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse. The sensitivity and responsiveness was excellent at first. However, after about 2 to 4 days of using the mouse, it becames jumpy and lags. I found out that it can be solved by restarting the machine. Is there any way of restarting only the bluetooth module but not the whole system? I've tried turning it off and on the preferences, but it didn't solve the jumpy problem. I've also read about resetting the PRAM/NVRAM and it clears up some problems, but according to the instructions given, it will reset the boot setting. So, I don't want to loose my bootcamp partition.
Thanks.

Hello:
To my knowledge, no to your question.
However, I would suggest you reset both the PRAM and SMC at least once.

Is there a way to inform all Applications in a Workspace...?

Hi,
I can inform the developers of an instance in the login Page and Home Page from the internal WS. Under Shared Componants I can send a message to the developer Homepage too, but I haven't found a way to inform all Applications of a Workspace or of a Apex-Instance.
Any Ideas...?
Thanks,
Juergen

Hello,
Inform them of what? You just want a Message Of The Day sort of thing?
Why not store messages in a globally accessible table/schema that all the applications have permission to read from and then display any messages? You could put this logic into a packaged procedure so it's easily sharable between apps?
Lots of solutions I can see really, but would need lots more detail about your actual requirements to suggest a 'best way'.
